grandpa was a carpenter is a great tune, the kid has good taste
It just occurrs to me that if Sozlet likes the Beatles of 1967 --
Sgt. Pepper,
Magical Mystery Tour, etc. -- she probably likes the early Pink Floyd. They started out in quite a similar spirit.
A Piper at the Gates of Dawn
A Saucerful of Secrets
Early Singles
Sozlet is
just the right age where she
might like to swing an axe around the house. It's important we remind her to be careful with it.
Here's one she just heard on the radio (not sure of the artist -- i.e. this seems to be by Bobby Bare but not sure if he's the one who performed it) and loved it:
Title: Bobby Bare - Marie Laveau lyrics
Marie Laveau
The most famous of the voodoo queens that ever existed
Is Marie Laveau, down in Louisiana
There's a lot of weird, ungodly tales about Marie,
She's supposed to have a lot of magic potions, spells and curses....
Down in Louisiana, where the black trees grow
Lives a voodoo lady named Marie Laveau
Got a black cat's tooth and a Mojo bone
And anyone who wouldn't leave her alone
She'd go (growl) another man done gone.
She lives in a swamp in a hollow log
With a one-eyed snake and a three-legged dog
She's got a bent, bony body and stringy hair
If she ever seen y'all messin' 'round there
She'd go (growl) another man done gone.
And then one night when the moon was black
Into the swamp come handsome Jack
A no good man like you all know
(TALK) He was lookin' around for Marie Laveau.
He said Marie Laveau, you handsome witch
Gimme a little a little charm that'll make me rich
Gimme a million dollars and I tell you what I'll do
This very night, I'm gonna marry you
Then It'll be (growl) another man done gone.
So Marie done some magic, and she shook a little sand
Made a million dollars and she put it in his hand
Then she giggled and she wiggled, and she said Hey, Hey
I'm gettin' ready for my weddin' day.
But old handsome Jack he said goodbye Marie
You're too damned ugly for a rich man like me
Then Marie started mumblin', her fangs started gnashin'
Her body started tremblin', and her eyes started flashin'
And she went (growl) another man done gone.
So if you ever git down where the black trees grow
And meet a voodoo lady named Marie Laveau
If she ever asks you to make her your wife
Man, you better stay with her for the rest of your life
Or it'll be (growl) another man done gone.
Who knew Sozlet would grow up to be so anti-men!
